The General Code review effort, when completed, will allow us to have a searchable set of bylaws, rules and regulations online.

Also, Mr. Gustus states that with respect to the broadcast of Town Meeting by both Cable providers, he is happy to report that Verizon and Comcast have coordinated the ability to broadcast from the Middle School as part of the overhaul of our entire Local Cable access operation. The switchover of live feeds from the Town to the cable providers is complete and the switchover from the High School to the Market Street site is scheduled to occur on September 7, 2014. This will allow the live broadcast of all future Town Meeting from either the High School or the Middle School over both cable provider networks.

These are good steps in providing more local government information and transparency. Please take advantage of these and the future improvements to find out more about your Town government.”
